Talks and presentations by Sónar+D

The conference space at Sónar+D connects the worlds of art, science and technology in a program organized into five thematic blocks with a focus on sustainability, creative coding and artificial intelligence, new digital imaginaries, future cities and new digital economies beyond crypto-platforms.

During the two days, SónarCCCB will also host a number of projects arising from the collaboration between local leaders in the fields of creativity, training and research. Some examples are the scientific research project "Carbolytics", developed by artist and researcher Joana Moll with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and Aksioma, which visualizes the energy impact of internet cookies; the new audiovisual project by Cora Novoa -   the result of her artistic residency at the Taller de Músics; the presentation of the European collaborative project SYNX, organized in association with MindSpaces, a project by S+T+ARTS Lighthouse under the artistic direction of Eina Idea; the the workshops ‘How to Patreon with Hainbach’, ‘Find your Groove with Beatport LINK’, or the workshop by new media artist Mónica Rikić, presented by BAU Design College of Barcelona.
